Steering Wheel

No - there is a "-1984" boss, and a "1985+" boss for the Momo wheels.

I believe only the latter have the "tang" at the back required to cancel the indicators.

Worth finding out the part number as it is common to some other VWs ~ I got mine 2nd hand on ebay and it wasn't being sold as a 944S2 boss.
 
Early and late steering wheels are identical: its only the horn contact/indicator cancel that differs. Bosses which use the original horn ring will fit both early and late cars (Mountney for example, but they MUST have the ring attached). Momo bosses include a built in horn ring so they are model specific: series one (1982-1985); and series two (1986-1995).

The 944 S2 is no different to a 944 series two: it IS a series two 944, but not all series two 944s are S2s.
 
I've just swapped wheels today and thought I'd post some pics.

I'm confused - you appear to have swapped a clean looking Momo Race for a suede not-sure-of-name which appears to be worn shiney on the top. [&:]


PS - I always liked the look of the Race, but managed to pick up a brand new Fighter off ebay for less than £100. Much nicer to hold than the Lozenge. See HERE.
 
Sorry, it's not for sale just yet. For what it's worth I've never felt the Race looks quite right in my 944, it's a bit too showy, but it's a comfortable wheel so I'll probably put it in the 944S (assuming I don't sell it, the car I mean!).

I bought the new wheel with the intention of recovering it in alcantara over the winter. It's interesting to compare the car through both wheels, it feels quite different, the smaller diameter of the new wheel is making a difference, but I think it goes deeper than that. I'll swap back at some point to make a proper comparison.
 
I have a black anodised with red leather Monte Carlo and I had to change it, because I drove everywhere too quickly. The wheel egged me on!
 
Don't you find that a 'problem' with a stripped out car though Simon? I certainly feel my car comes to life when pushing on, at constant speeds the noise can get a bit boring, the ride a bit relentless but give it some stick and its a completely different animal [:D] Thankfully there's just enough grunt to ensure I don't get stuck behind traffic very often so it's rarely a major problem.
 
To some degree yes, although mine had the carpets replaced. You can really hear the exhaust with a polycarbonate rear window too... [:D]
 
A pair of more modern Monte Carlo 'Race wheels, without their bezels which wont fot over a Porsche horn push:
